I can hear the sharp exhalations of breath from the art-steeped pseudo experts upon seeing the works of Junghi Han; “ohh…haow…bourgeois!” (you have to say this will a William F Buckley sort of accent). Of course, those saying this would be the definition of bourgeois desperately trying to hide this under a natty beret.

Myself, I find his painting nostalgic. I find them to be true impressions of reality filtered through the mind. Obviously, I know nothing of the artist’s thought process or philosophy beyond what I read on her website but it just seems like the literal definition of impressionism.

Yes I was startled at the end of this interview (by artist Kenneth Park...you can see an interview with him earlier in this stream of Art Basel week stuff).
